Un Reloj Y Una Vela

The Eternal Dance of Time and Flame

Antonio Orozco's song "Un Reloj Y Una Vela" delves into the profound themes of time, existence, and the inevitability of change. The lyrics draw a poignant comparison between a clock and a candle, two objects that symbolize the passage of time in different ways. While the candle burns and diminishes, the clock remains unaltered, its hands moving steadily forward. This juxtaposition highlights the relentless march of time and the transient nature of life.

Orozco's lyrics reflect a deep philosophical inquiry into the reasons behind life's events. He expresses a determination to live authentically, refusing to let the cold, mechanical hands of a clock dictate his existence. This sentiment is encapsulated in the chorus, where he vows to sing while the candle burns, embracing life fully even as time continues to pass. The imagery of the candle burning down serves as a metaphor for the human experience, where each moment is precious and fleeting.

The song also touches on the transformative power of time and fire. Just as time can alter one's appearance and body, fire can reshape and consume. Orozco's comparison of these forces to his own music suggests that his songs are both eternal and sincere, capturing the essence of his emotions and experiences. The act of singing becomes a way to confront and share his fears, creating a connection with the listener. Through this lyrical exploration, Orozco invites us to reflect on our own relationship with time and the ways we choose to live our lives.
